During the talks at the Economic Forum in Karpacz, Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment, Ireneusz Zyska, announced that Poland would achieve the target of 15% share of renewable energy in final consumption for 2020.
The Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment stated that a lot depends on proper market research, and so far not all areas of RES have been included in the reports. As Ireneusz Zyska assured, currently, in order to determine the correct result, all sources using renewable energy are taken into account, also in distributed energy, using e.g. biomass. Therefore, the deputy minister expects that the target for 2020 will be achieved, but the final data will be disclosed at the end of the year.
According to Eurostat, in Poland, energy from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption accounted for 12.16% in 2019 and 11.48% in 2018.
